Hades

A Greek term generally translated 'Hell' in the King James Version of the Bible.

Beliefs about Hades are divided:

Some Christians believe that Hades is a place where the spirits of unsaved persons and of believers who died before the ascension of Christ temporarily reside until the day of judgment. Then, the unsaved will be thrown into the lake of fire; the believers will attain heaven.

Others believe that Hades and Sheol are Hell where the unsaved are tortured for all eternity.
